Home Cinema Choice - October 2018

Product Description

Designed to deliver images as the director intended, Panasonic’s 65in FZ802 OLED TV promises to bring Hollywood home. So does this 4K flatscreen deliver? Armed with a bunch of new Ultra HD Blu-rays, we give our verdict… Also on the test bench is the rival 903 OLED TV from Philips, and we reveal in our exclusive review that image quality is just one of this flagship set’s attractions. We also run the rule over a floorstanding Dolby Atmos speaker array from Jamo; Arcam’s seven-channel (and Dirac Live) AVR390 receiver; Samsung’s 7.1.4-channel high-end HW-N950 soundbar system; Dynaudio’s Music 3 wireless multiroom speaker; a 4K Acer projector with Amazon Alexa support; and more. Whatever your budget, we’ve got you covered. On the software side, we check out new Blu-ray and 4K releases including Avengers: Infinity War, Ready Player One and Isle of Dogs, plus classic horror flick The Changeling. We also look over three decades of the Predator franchise and give our verdict on the new trilogy 4K boxset. Elsewhere, we report on the launch of Sony’s new Master Series TVs; run the rule over seven UK video streaming services; roundup our ten favourite Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson movies; and reveal why B&W isn’t planning to make Dolby Atmos upfiring speakers… Plus: all the usual opinion, news, disc reviews and competitions. Enjoy the show!
